It's About The TABULATING!
Edited on Tue Nov-07-06 02:09 PM by cyberpj
Just got back from voting in Delaware - good systems - things flowing smoothly here

BUT
Our local paper already has 2 articles about no problems with electronic voting in -

Pennsylvania:
In Pa., only ’typical’ glitches reported with voting machines

What so many people don't get is that it's not necessarily about the machines themselves, that just one part of the total package, IT'S ABOUT THE TABULATING!

We need to keep educating Dem politicians and all election fraud groups to remember this is the big one - programming the tabulators to change the counts - that they use if all the other techniques fail to give them a winner.

1. So, What Are We To Do About The Tabulating?
There's NO WAY to monitor that. How can we detect FRAUD WHEN it happens, if we can't exactly monitor computer tabulating?

3. I didn't mean to yell at us - I meant the news articles missing that point.

5. I voted on an optical scan ballot.
It's good to have a paper trail, but once it's digitized, they can do with it what they want.
I wish I could remember which DUer provided this graphic.

6. That's a great graphic. I'll bet someone here knows it's origin. Keep it handy for tomorrow!

That's when we'll be needing it I'll wager.

:hi:
